Abstract

A method for manufacturing fine-pitch bumps comprises the steps of providing a silicon substrate; forming a titanium-containing metal layer on the silicon substrate, wherein the titanium-containing metal layer comprises a plurality of first zones and a plurality of second zones; forming a photoresist layer on the titanium-containing metal layer; patterning the photoresist layer to form a plurality of opening slots; forming a plurality of copper bumps at the opening slots, wherein each of the copper bumps comprises a first top surface and a ring surface; heating the photoresist layer to form a plurality of body portions and a plurality of removable portions; etching the photoresist layer; and removing the second zones to enable each of the first zones to form an under bump metallurgy layer having a bearing portion and an extending portion.

Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention is generally related to a method for manufacturing fine-pitch bumps, which particularly relates to the method for manufacturing fine-pitch bumps that prevents copper ions from dissociation.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • In structure of fine-pitch bumps, a short phenomenon is easily occurred from a relatively short gap between two adjacent copper bumps owing to the copper ion dissociated by the copper bump.
